Plumbing CRM, Built for Chicago, IL
A one-operator-per-city license for plumbing businesses in Chicago (Cook County), part of the Great Lakes region. Full Loop runs the acquisition and operations for whoever claims the Chicago market.
If you run a plumbing business, Chicago is not an abstract market — it's a real place, and here's proof: Chicago sits roughly 166 miles northwest of Indianapolis. The next-closest major metro is Detroit, about 236 miles west. Chicago is located in Cook County, Illinois, a market of roughly 2,718,782 residents, and the operator who treats that geography as a planning input, not an afterthought, wins the dispatch math.
Full Loop CRM points your lead generation, local SEO, and AI sales agent squarely at Chicago customers and the IL metros around it — South Bend, Milwaukee, Kalamazoo, and more — instead of spreading thin across the whole country. Chicago winters drive heating emergency demand December-March; pest and HVAC peak June-September. Chicago is the only Illinois metro Full Loop currently tracks in this dataset.
As one of Illinois's standalone plumbing markets, Chicago rewards the operator who runs a tight, automated pipeline instead of competing on price alone.
Because Full Loop licenses one plumbing operator per city, claiming Chicago means the organic leads, the review flywheel, and the exclusive territory here are yours — and the same model is available in each nearby IL market as you expand.

How does the dispatch system prioritize emergency calls?+
Emergency calls are categorized by severity: active water leaks and sewage backups are highest priority, followed by no hot water and failed fixtures. The system evaluates available technicians based on proximity, current job progress, and relevant skills. For the highest-severity emergencies, the system can interrupt a non-emergency scheduled job if the technician is closer, automatically rescheduling the displaced appointment and notifying that client. Emergency response time metrics are tracked per technician and overall, giving you data to continuously improve your response speed.
Can the system manage a flat-rate digital price book?+
Yes. The price book is a central feature that stores every plumbing task with its flat-rate price. Tasks are organized by category — drains, water heaters, faucets, toilets, pipes, gas lines — and can be updated centrally when material costs change. Technicians access the price book on their mobile app during each call, ensuring consistent pricing across your team. The system supports good-better-best options for tasks that warrant them and can include photos and descriptions that help technicians explain each option to clients. Price book analytics show which tasks are performed most often, which generate the most revenue, and which have the highest margins.
